I just had thre extractions from my left side and i just notice sonething white on obe of them what could it be?

Normal healing : You don't form scabs in your mouth like on other areas, the white stuff you see is probably the equivalent of a scab, do not worry unless accompanied by increasing pain, swelling, or signs of infection.

On Nov 5th I got a Jaydess IUD placed, during my period. My period is now 5 days late. I have occasional cramping. Also, I have a dull pain on the lower left side of my abdomen, which I read could be a sign of ectopic pregnancy. Should I see ob/gyn?
